[@lindadelzer423]

No! I'm in my 70's and just bought an old house to remodel. Am having the time of my life. Don't have to go to work everyday, so have that much more time to remodel.

[@ruthmccord6313]

Yep. Renovated a house in my late 60s, I'm 70 this year and moving to Italy. You're never too old!!

[@sashacat53]

I agree, I’m 70 and am so inspired after watching these videos. Of course I need to recognise my limitations and work with them instead of working against them. In a couple of days I have my house open for sale. I have painted it inside and out and worked on it to get it to be the best price I can get and then purchase another house and start again.

I basically live for new Rosie video day. But it has to be the right setting, so I save it to watch while I eat dinner or drink my morning coffee. These videos have come to symbolize safety and comfort, needs met. So ridiculous, but it's the small pleasures in life that get me through.

[@katlynncok2]

Me too.

[@unnurhrafnsdottir9424]

It's always so funny to me when you disappear into that tiny shack and pull out ANOTHER massive piece of wood. I know you bought a lot, but each time it feels like a magic trick. The little Side-Cabin Of Endless Wood.

[@keiolge]

Watching you build this wardrobe made me realize how much progress you made since your first started on your kitchen. I'm so glad you are sharing this journey with us :) Absolutely love those corner cabinets around the window!

[@jeridodge9576]

I agree.. I was going to say the same. I like how much she has learned and passed on to us.

[@jeridodge9576]

I would leave the corner ones without doors though. Just a personal preference.

[@Anja_Mindful_Growth_Hub_DE]

@@jeridodge9576yes had the same though!

[@dvogonen]

Your design of the angled shelves around the window is genius. I usually dislike cupboards close to windows. They steal light and make you feel like being in a bunker with super thick walls. Your design makes the window seem much wider and hides the thickness of the cupboards. Impressed.

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

Here is an example of why reading comments is good because I would have said this very one. The angling is so clever (and CUTE 🥰).

[@robynterrey7767]

Rosie has captured a building feature of the old, thick-walled stone buildings that shaped the surrounds of their windows like this, and it's brillliant.

[@amb7440]

I'm in complete agreement and anxious to see the design below the window. I have a small room and plan to do the same (love the angle approach around windows!) but deciding if below the window should be small drawers or open shelves.

[@gnarbeljo8980]

You stole my comment 😊 I couldn't agree more, such a smart way to cover a wall with a window entirely in cupboards without making the room darker, the window seem boxed in, the room seem alot smaller. This acutally helps the light bounce out into the room and the window looks much bigger! Love the linnen samples too. Very fitting in a house of this era and perfect match to the all natural wood vibe. Soft furnishings make a huge difference to interior schemes. I'm sure this is going to look beautiful! April weather... we're still having it. Today is grim! Cracking job Rosie! ❤

[@andreamalik2961]

Honestly Rosie, you are so clever with your designs. The window area is such a gorgeous feature now.

[@barbmoff7098]

But I am afraid I am not minimalist enough. I would not put doors on the shelves at the window.

[@bellaellis2813]

I ADMIRE YOU ROSIE ❤️

[@dianesullivan1047]

I was thinking window shutters that could close instead of using window curtains

[@Lupupu]

As someone who played classical music for about 20 years, I really enjoy the music that you use on your videos. The classical pieces that you use sound fresh and certainly not overused, like using something like Vivaldi's Seasons.

[@marianfrances4959]

Vivaldi's 4 Seasons is a favorite of mine. I'm still, also, playing my 50+ year old??, original vinyl LP, Keith Jarret's Kohln Concert! 👍😎🇨🇦🎶💙

[@SusanZiegler]

@Lupupu - I completely agree!!!

[@katjahanzberger]

I agree in general, i play Cello, but this time the pieces are too dramatical and sad for me.

[@Lupupu]

@@marianfrances4959 I also like Vivaldi's 4 Seasons, all though lately I've been listening to Max Richer's version Reimagining Vivaldi more than the original Vivaldi.

[@yettawat1564]

[@SacredHabitats]

I really appreciate that you turn down the volume of your power tools in your editing so they're not screaming louder than the overall video volume. I like the sound of tools but not at high volume. Thanks for doing that :-) Love what you're building, should look terrific when it's done. Nice fabric choices too. Very cute ;-)

[@nathaliefouyer3576]

you might want to lower the volume on your computer.....just a suggestion :)

[@Dustinlove102]

agreed, hate it when I'm immersed in a video like this, only to be jump-scared by a sudden scene change using power tools/hammering

[@tetedur377]

I do like the way she does the blended transitions between scenes. So in one scene where she's hand sawing, and then as it moves into the next scene, you still hear the hand sawing as it fades into whatever she's doing next. To me, it's very sophisticated as far as techniques, but then I remember when 45 rpm records were a thing.

[@aysen8366]

totally agree

[@WildatHeart123]

Wow Rosie - flying a drone whilst cycling with the wobbly trailer. That was brave.

[@thomasjpuleo8112]

I think a drone can have an automatic tracking feature so it will simply follow your phone while maintaining a particular altitude.

[@lavenderpatch5031]

I wondered if that was the case. Thanks for mentioning.

[@raquelf2866]

She made a video explaining how she uses the drone

And your lovely voice and self describing the thought/design/choice process as you show the work process and progress. Even the insert of your sponsor time was nicely done. I can only imagine the time that goes into the videos along with the travel, exercise and activities of daily living (even KZbinrs need to do laundry - here it is just another layer of "process" that contributes to the whole). You are growing more and more adept as an artisan and as an artist. And, as a story teller and dream weaver... Thank you for doing such a lovely job taking us with you on your journey. Blessings!

Why am I always aurprised at how elabiorate your designs are? To me the window arrangment Is beautiful. I am in awe. not only of your craftsmanship but also your poise and self-reliance.

[@asteria4279]

About trailer sway: it is likely because you mounted the load diagonally. You maybe did this to reduce length, however the wind now catches the load. Next time mount the lengths straight, with short ones on top like you did, and put as much weight on the boards to the front of the trailer as you can to balance the tail. You aren't going on paths where catching the tail is a problem, and everything has a bright yellow cover, so you should be fine with a few extra cm off the back. Sway isn't just uncomfortable, it increases wear on the hitch too and can be dangerous if it interferes with steering.

Hi Rosie, might I suggest that getting a dressmakers form could be a real game changer for you when creating patterns.

Yes! Plus a dressmaker form is a cute decor item imo! There are numerous KZbin videos on how to diy them. Although, looking online for a cute second hand one is an option…or for getting inspiration. It does make sewing for oneself, especially when drafting patterns, so much easier.
